Dr. Chalm Weizmann, presi¬ dent of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, addressing the open¬ ing session, attended by several thousand visitors as well as dele¬ gates, contrasted the tate ot the Jews of Europe with that of the Jews In Pale.stine where "the Yishub, with self-reliance and single-minded purpose, may map out Its own chart of the future." He declared that "no threat—Internal ,or externaV

Dr. Weizmann praised the work of the Council in effective¬ ly cancallzlng American Jewry's "Impulses of devotion" toward the stricken Jews of Europe and the cause of the Jewish na¬ tional home in Palestine.
"In the world I have but re¬ cently left," Dr. Weizmann said, "there are today literally mil¬ lions ot Jews who find in the American Jewish community a great reservoir ot material and spiritual strength. Beaten down by years of ruthless persecution, the Jewish communities of cen¬ tral and eastern Europe have been forced In large measure to relinciuish their leadership in Jewish life throughout the world, and have watched with tortured hope the assumption by American Jewry of pre-emin¬ ence in the communal exi.stence of Jewries everywhere."
"Year by year," Dr. Weizmann said, "it has been made evident through the increasingly gener¬ ous contributions of Jews throughout this country—con¬ tributions which have in many cases Indicated real .sacrifice—! that the great body of American
has dctcriiiined lo .avail itself nf c\ery opjiorlunity for .sup¬ porting the .lewish nalional home in Palestine "
Clarence PIrkeff, cveciilivc sec- relary of the American I-'riends Servici- Conimillee voictni l.iie hope thill llie "close relation¬ ship which has grown up be¬ tween .lews and Quakers during these trying days" might devel¬ op and "bear fruit in statesman¬ like planning for the benefit of our whole American life,"
He declared that "one of the great opporlunities to show the effective functioning ot democ¬ racy and even to give relief to unemployment" lay in America's handling of the refugee prob¬ lem. He cited the tact that in Britian Il.OtK) refugees gave jobs to, 1.5,000 native Britons and similar Instances in the United States as evidence .that unem¬ ployment fears weri unground¬ ed. By skillfully discharging the work ot immigration, he said, "we will in the process bring to America a significant social and economic contribution."

and feUowcItlzen'S" ' H<J appke of the invltiitlon to him as a sign of determination "to face and solve those problems."
"We ought to accomplish some¬ thing worth while," Father Hick¬ ey continued, "if we are wise enough and big enough to keep on trusting one another as we seem to do today; if we are in¬ dividually strong enough to re¬ sist the insidious effort that will surely be made to play up inherited prejudices, Irrelevent historic misunderstandings or downright misapplication of the Issues that divide us."
The American ORT Federa¬ tion and the American Jewish Congress held dinners here In conjunction with the Council sessions.
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, the guest ot honor at the Congress dinner where he addressed 150 delegates, urged that formulas and programs be found for per¬ manent solution of Jewish Euro¬ pean problems after the next peace and suggested that the facilities of the World Jewish Congress be utilized for prepara¬ tion of such a program.
